I totally relate to this! Social media has always been weird to me. Also started a bluesky, but it feels exhausting trying to do anything on it. Ugh. One of my goals this year is to only do things that feel good or like a good stretch.
I LOVE THAT GOAL! I feel like social media tricks us into thinking we’re doing things by liking posts etc, but really it’s all just click-screaming into a void :(
I need to give Bluesky an honest try. But that also feels weirdly exhausting :/ I do enjoy substack! I should probably treat it less like a newsletter and more like a social channel — maybe one day
Yeah, I made a Bluesky account this week and was like, wait, I didn't use Twitter, I don't need to add another thing. So I'm currently exploring these Notes as the primary social channel. But I do like posting my little pictures on IG.
Yes! I also wasn’t ever super excited about Twitter, and am equally meh on Bluesky. IG has always felt the most “natural” (LOL), so I’m sad to see it implode. But yeah, I’ll keep posting my lil pics as a way to keep in touch with readers and friends etc while trying not to feed the Meta beast too much

So true. Another good goal could be to only do stuff that feels like actual action. Maybe I will add that to my list :)
I’ve missed you girl. Happy New Year!
Same 🧡 Happy new year to you too!
Hoping there is a wave building among writerfolk to free us all from this desolate mall! I like substack tho.
